Sky Sports reporter almighty ‘cock-up’ over Charlie Austin’s medical (Video)

We can't actually believe he's said this...

Charlie Austin has no ligaments in his right… what?

It looks like Charlie Austin’s proposed transfer to West Ham won’t be happening after Hammers’ owner David Sullivan commented that the striker “has no ligaments in his knees.”

Austin himself responded to Sullivan’s comments in an impassioned post on Twitter, which called the accusations made against his fitness “inaccurate, misleading and uninformed.”

Sky Sports tried their best to report the whole story, but one reporter had a rather unfortunate slip which momentarily drastically changed the forward’s anatomy.

So, erm, if he’s a ‘flop’ this season, we’ll know why! Okay, we’ll get our coats…
